Make substations more intelligent with SubSTATION Server, the most advanced, versatile and secure substation data management server available. Its unparalleled power and ease of use make it the integration solution of choice for over 100 utilities worldwide.
Benefits of SubSTATION Server
SubSTATION Server is a multi-function software application that performs data concentration, protocol translation, automation logic, event file collection and enterprise connectivity.
SubSTATION Server is a powerful multi-function substation integration solution that replaces outdated RTU data concentrators, relay communication processors and other legacy integration devices.
Save utilities time and money by eliminating the need to purchase, configure and maintain multiple different legacy integration devices.
Avoid limitations of IED vendor-specific integration devices with SubSTATION Server's true multi-vendor integration capabilities that support rich integration for virtually all major IED vendors.
Enables utilities to get more out of existing IED investments by helping them avoid unnecessary IED upgrades and replacements just to add new IED communication or security functionality.
Save time driving to substations to communicate with IEDs - use SubSTATION Server's secure remote access functionality (NERC CIP compliant).
Mitigate the effect of substation outages with automated collection of Relay Event Records with timely and informed restoration actions.
Use SubSTATION Server's advanced redundancy capabilities and implement a reliable and seamless upgradeable automation solution.
Avoid technological obsolesce issues of traditional substation integration solutions with SubSTATION Server which leverages, and evolves with, mainstream networking and computing technologies including Microsoft and Intel, versus proprietary embedded IED vendor computing technologies.
Scalable software enables solution support ranging from the smallest distribution sites to your largest transmission substations.
